Hah, it's pretty cool... I give it a B+

MAYBE an A- if some parts stop being so long.

Mine would stutter every now and then, when it's loading a sound for the first time usually.. with the enormous load times I dunno why the hell they dont over pre-cache the stuff.. It's probably Norton going nuts on the checking used files for viruses or something...

But, I was running a constant minimum of 80 FPS at 1280x960 with maxed out pretties, aside from FSAA and antistropic filtering, cause when you're tearing ass through aqueducts at 50 miles an hour, who sees jaggies?

I'd suggest you turn off damn near everything that isn't vital when you play it, I usually had Winamp going, and a bunch of windows open, but I'm a moron.

Overclocking your video card's another solution.. A friend OC'd his Nvidia something or other ~15% with Rivatuner, and it brought him up another 10FPS.

Of course you wanna make sure you have adequate cooling whenever you overclock anything! And always, test over and over for stability. You don't need to be in the middle of a game, sweat pouring down your face with anticipation of the next turn, and all of a sudden, BAM! your computer reboots. Damned complimentary reboots...
